Hotel information
This is a modern day Robison Crusoe retreat that exudes barefoot luxury unobtrusively.
The absence of televisions and phones from the Suites is deliberate and mobile phones are virtually barred from the Island, which is one of the many reasons why it’s popular with bona fide A-list actors, singers and former US presidents. This private, secluded Island is only accessible by a 15 minute motor launch from the main Welcome Station on Little Torch Key. From here your car will be valet parked and your luggage taken from you, and will be waiting for you in your named suite once you reach the Island. The Island wins award after award, too, for its exceptional service, luxury and setting. This spectacular tropical paradise is like a delicious pudding at the end of a sumptuous meal, somewhere we’d all like to treat ourselves. And a holiday here is like one long never-ending treat. You can pamper and preen at SpaTerre, where opulent treatments are the order of the day – every day if you like! Perhaps it’s your taste buds that need refreshing, in which case you’ll want to make a reservation at one of Florida’s best hotel dining experiences – the Dining Room where you can expect the freshest, gourmet steaks and seafood. Or simply unwind as you wander along crushed seashell paths, lounge by the lagoon-style pool, curl up in the cozy Great Room Library or find yourself in the meditative Zen Garden. Perfect for couples and honeymooners.
